What you gonna do, Charlie Tomatoes
No one talks to you, they're all afraid
Oh! Children goin' "BRRR!"
When he's walkin' by
Charlie Toe-Ma-Tas!
He's not the same as you and I
What we gonna do, 'bout that Tomato
He's a threat to you, worse than tornados
He deserves a "BRRR!"
When he's walkin' by
Charlie Toe-Ma-Tas!
We gotta look into this guy
Rise up, Tomatoes
You cannot hide
Not underground like potatoes
They're picking on you guys
Here's what we will do, 'bout that Tomatoes
Watch him in New York and Old Lerado
I just get a "BRRR!"
Thinking 'bout that guy
Charlie Toe-Ma-Tas!
He's not the same as you and I
Charlie Toe-Ma-Tas!
We gotta look into this guy
Charlie Toe-Ma-Tas!
We're gonna get him by and by

Always Kiss Goodnight
01:51

I want to hear you and see you
Thrill each time I know I get to feel you
And I promise to always kiss you
Goodnight
I want to sup with you and play the pup for you
And when it's right, you know, I might erupt with you
And I promise to always kiss you
Goodnight
Yes. I'm hard to handle
Always burning my two-ended candle
But I'll make it right
With every kiss goodnight
That's my song for you, it's not long, it's true
Now let me tell you what I really wanna do
And that's turn out the light
And kiss you goodnight
Just like I promised to
Always kiss you
Goodnight
Kiss you good night
I'm gonna kiss you tonight

Never Had You
03:05
|
|||
|
I got no kids, but at 62
I'm remembering a little girl
Who squealed when we played peek-a-boo
She was the center of my world
And there were birthdays, bottles and Barbie Dolls
But these memories are untrue
So little girl you have me now
But I never had you
Oh, Daddy’s girl you have me now
But I never had you
But I remember……..
Still I remember……..
The way that mama looked at you
Joy was in her eyes
Just like her a dress up girl
Just like me not shy
The little tuft where we hung the bow
Born just loving pink
Your first mad dash was to my arms
You didn’t even think
But that sweet child was never born
Not a word of that is true
So little girl you have me now
But I never had you
Oh, daddy’s girl you have me now
But I never had you
But I remember…….
Still I remember……
That time you winked right back at me
That’s when I knew you knew
Took my hand at the escalator
Daddy will see you through
And when you cried and mama said
Please just take this one
It was still a thrill to see you there
At the first light of the sun
Built a monument to myself instead
Heart of Prussian Blue
So little girl you have me now
But I never had you
Oh, darling girl you have me now
But I never had you
Oh, Daddy’s girl you have me now
But I never had you

Ghost Town
02:33
|

Ghost town, it's a ghost town
Ooh scary ghost town
Make no sight, make no sound
This is their ghost town
Butterfly alights on mimosa leaf
For that one moment, you lay down grief
He flies away, but look, he's back again
Could that butterfly be him?
Ghost town, it's a ghost town
Ooh scary ghost town
Make no sight, make no sound
This is their ghost town
Dragonfly bleaching in the summer sun
Found his lover, now he's done
He turns to the wind, and just blows away
Was he dead?
I cannot say
Maybe your father left today
Waited for you to come back this way
Farewell my daughter
I heard him say
Ghost town, it's a ghost town
Ooh scary ghost town
Make no sight, make no sound
This is their ghost town
This is their ghost town
This is Ed's ghost town

Rain come, spoil Amy's day
She just stepped out
Now it's pouring
Rain come, spoil Amy's day
Rain go away
Go away rain
Rain come, wreck Amy's hair
It's just not fair
It was perfect
Rain come, wreck Amy's hair
It's just not fair
Go away rain
Rain, Rain
Down on her head
On Amy's head
Down on her head
The rain came
She looked so good
She looked so fine
All dolled up
Just like a Valentine
Until the rain came
Rain, Rain
Rain come, spoil Amy's day
Wreck Amy's hair
Soak Amy's feet
Drench Amy's dress
She's such a mess
Go away, rain

Dead End Road
03:17
|

|
We're all on a dead end road
Nobody knows
How far it goes
Running down a one-way street
When will your journey be complete?
Oh I drove the desert at night
Ah the stars were so bright
Man, I really was flying
And I really learned how to fight
Not a question of right
It was a matter of will
But we're all on a dead end road
Nobody knows
How far it goes
Running down a one-way street
When will your journey be complete?
Oh I drove an old Chevrolet
Wish I had it today
Eyebrow taillights were killer
And I was an angry young man
But I stuck to the plan
It wasn't always a thrill
But we're all on a dead end road
Nobody knows
How far it goes
Running down a one-way street
When will your journey be complete?

She likes The Ramones
And she likes me
She likes Italiano

She likes those brothers A
And she likes me
How can it be that she likes me?
Oh, how could it be that she likes me?
Oh, how could it be that she likes me?
Oh, how could it be that she likes
Me when I'm sad and act like a child
Me when I'm mad and ranting and wild
Me when I can't seem to put things away
Me though I run like a dog every day
Oh, how could it be that she likes me?
How can it be that she likes me?
Oh, how could it be that she likes me?
He likes to think a lot
I gotta say, I find that hot
He likes Marvin Gaye
And he likes me
He likes to work real hard
He plants tomatoes in the yard
He digs entropy
And he likes me
Oh, how could it be that he likes me?
Oh, how could it be that he likes
Me when I can't seem to say what I mean
Me when I tell him my goriest dream
Me when I know that I just let him down
Me when he knows I don't want him around
Oh, how can it be that he likes me?
Oh, how can it be that he likes me?
Oh, how can it be that she likes me?
How can it be that he likes me?
Oh, how can it be that you like me?

Poor Boy
02:34
|

|
Oh, I'm such a poor boy
Not in dollars and cents
No not that kind
I never had a true love
One that would withstand the test of time
And I know the problem
It's in my heart
And it's worse a heart attack
'Cause girls get tired of waitin'
And givin' love when I can't give it back
I said girls get tired of waitin'
And givin' love when I can't give it back
I got a cold, cold heart
She knew that from the very start
But she thought that she could melt the frost
Tried a couple years
Cried a bucket full of tears
Then like the others told me to get lost
Oh, I'm such a poor boy
And now you know why I'm a sorry mess
'Cause money can't buy true love
And it sure won't buy me any happiness
And you know the problem
It's in my heart, and it's worse a heart attack
'Cause girls get tired of waitin'
And givin' love when I can't give it back
I said girls get tired of waitin'
And givin' love when I can't give it back

Drunkest jerk, I'm the one
Hardest work, I'm the one
Make the scene
All of your gests are watching me
And all the women love me
Biggest fool, I'm the one
Stuck in school, I'm the one
Dangerous brain, brilliant and vain
Yeah, that's my game
And all the gay men dig me
La, La, La, I'm the one
La, La, La, I'm the one
When summer comes again
So romantic
We'll fuel the flame within
With kisses frantic
We'll fuel the flame within
With kisses frantic
Gigantic!
I will become gigantic
Carless clown, I'm the one
Who fell down? I'm the one
Got to pay, hide me away
Be back some day
Ah but, I'm the one
Ah but, I'm the one
Who gets carried away
Ah but, I'm the one
Ah but, I'm the one
Who gets carried away

Every New Day
02:54

I want to walk to the Garden of Eden
And I want to set all the people free
Yes I want to stride in the footsteps of sainthood
And I want you with me
No I want to go where the pickin' is easy
I want to fly in an emerald sea
Yes, I want to live off of Earth's great bounty
And I want you with me
Yes I want you with me
Yes I want you with me
Every new day is a highway - Let's roll
Every new day, can't you feel it cajole?
Every day, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
I want to ride on that train to justice
With my brothers there in harmony
And all my sisters, they are equal partners
And I want you with me
Yes I want you with me
Yes I want you with me
Every new day is a highway - Let's roll
Every new day, it cajoles and extolls
Every new time when I come from behind
Every new game where the rules are insane
Oh, dragonfly I see four wings in the sky
Hey dragonfly now you're perching nearby
Dragonfly dear, I'm so glad that you're near…..

Little Red Wagon
03:26

Got a little red wagon
To pull my toys around
Love my little red wagon
Keep my toys up off the ground
Like to roll with my little red wagon
Then lay my body down
Got a fire engine Tonka
Whoa! It's shiny bright
Love my bad boy Tonka
Think I'll play with it all night
Better find my little red wagon
And roll around 'til broad daylight
You know I live down here in Florida
Got sand in all my shoes
Sure is nice down here in sunny Florida
You ougta come down here and really let lose
We got a swamp called Tate's Hell
Leave a man dazed and confused
I was baptized in Lake Redemption
But took a plunge in Convict Springs
Y'all come down here to Florida, now
Spend some money, have a fling
You can ride your bike to Daytona
But it's too late to hear Bo Diddley sing
Ride your bike to Daytona
Too late to hear Bo Diddley sing
Too late to hear Bo Diddley sing
Too late to hear Bo Diddley sing
